‘Be the change that you wish to see in the world.’ - Mahatma Gandhi
Eric Clapton sang the definitive song ‘Change The World’. It is about making way for your dreams and aspirations. The Buddha taught: ‘Do good. Be good.’
If we want to experience something, we will have to initiate it. We need to start off with something others can see, hear and feel. They will need to be convinced before they decide to emulate the new behaviors. People seek meaning, their raison d’être. Without meaning, there will be no relevance or reason to change. Change must present benefits, or it will be met with indifference and stasis. Your first steps will determine the likelihood of you completing your marathon, building your new team, and achieving your goals, targets and dreams.
To promote peace, we have to be peaceful. To promote health, be healthy. To enhance quality, raise our personal and professional standards. We are likely to be more effective when we lead with our intentions and commitment. Practise what you preach. Lead and follow with values and actions.
Demonstrate through your actions. Be the change you want to see. Go out – and do it!
